It's not always easy to admit to ourselves or others when we have given up on something
When we get our happiness from God, we want to share that happiness with others.
When we have the certainty that God loves us completely for who we are, we can be satisfied no matter what.
God is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured or feared.
Happiness starts with a choice: where (or to whom) will we turn to find it?
Relying on an unchangeable God will help us stay steady and happy no matter what happens in our lives.
We need to acknowledge what is wearing us out, especially the ways in which we become focused on rules and behaviors.
We have dreams we want to see happen and visions we want to accomplish, but it takes a lot of energy to keep running toward them.
In the story of Martha and Mary, we can learn from Jesus how prioritizing our relationships with God and people can truly make us happy.
Jesus can teach us how to break free from a frustrating, unsatisfying, and rule-dominated experience of Christianity to find a real relationship with God.
